Observations of this comet by Ramón Naves (MPC 213, Barcelona, Spain) on
2007 Nov 11.15 showed that it was strongly elongated in PA 309 degreees and
possibly fragmented. Further observations by Ramón Naves and Montse Campàs
on Nov 12.08 clearly resolve two fragments with magnitudes of R=18.0 and
18.4 in a 10 arcsecond square aperture, separated by 17 arcseconds.
Observations by Juan Antonio Henriquez (MPC J51, Tenerife, Spain) on Nov
12.2 confirm the presence of two nuclei and give a separation of 16.5 arcseconds
